From the BBC News web pages today:
"Deep and prolonged cuts in the Scottish Government's budget will mean a "new age of austerity", an economic study has warned"
The article reports economists warning that:
"...ring-fencing some areas would "turn the screw" on every other sector that did not benefit from that concession." and,
"...council leaders they would face public and interest group pressures"
The article gives the conclusion to the report as being:
"A new age of austerity looms and very little time exists to prepare for it. Many of the potential areas for larger savings will take time to implement and so radical ideas too need to start to be addressed now."
